The Tomball men's team saw their four game winning streak come to an end as they fell to Cypress Springs 65-62. Tomball fell behind 10-5 at the end of one quarter and were down by 10 points at the half. They fell by four points in the third quarter and were trailing by 14 points heading into the fourth quarter. Things then started to get exciting.

Brad Ball's Cougars scored a whopping 31 points in the fourth quarter to eventually fall by three at 65-62. Thirty plus points in a quarter of high school basketball is almost unheard of.

Lance Gloyer led all Tomball scorers with 15 points and Kyle Zwerneman chipped in 10 points. The loss was the Cougars first district loss of the season. Jonathan Blake of Cypress Springs led all scorers with 21 points.

The Cougars bounced back in their next district game versus the Bobcats of Cypress Fairbanks with a 57-53 win. The Cougars led 20-19 after one and extended their lead to 37-30 by the half.

The Bobcats outscored the Cougars 13-10 in the third and both teams would play tough defense in the fourth quarter for a 10-10 tie but the Cougars would hold on for a 57-53 win to push their district record to 2-1 and 9-6 overall.
